CONTRADICTION OF FREEDOM AND PARADOXES OF RESPONSIBILITY (ANTHROPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS) by Z. V. Stezhko, Y. G. Stezhко

“…The model of the constant reproduction of the existing state of spiritual differentiation of a person's worldview should be contrasted with the model of harmonization of the democratic system (which is an ideal), only reducing its internal contradiction to the non-antagonistic and the formation on this basis of self-limitation, self-determination of personalities ‑ as a consequence of understanding the relativity of freedom, full awareness and acceptance responsibility for their intentions and decisions.…”

STING modulates HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure by mediating autophagy and macrophage polarization by Hao Zhang, Teng Liang, Wanlu Duan, Futing Liu, LiPing Li, Qian Liu, Jianfei Li, Qiyin Zong, Lei Jin, Qin Wang, Qiang Zhou

“…During the early stage (6 h) of the STING agonist treatment group, the STING pathway was activated, autophagy flux was up-regulated, and liver inflammation and injury were alleviated. Contrastingly, at the late stage of STING agonist treatment (24 h, 48 h), macrophages were polarized to the M1 phenotype, exacerbating liver inflammatory infiltration and injury. …”

Label credibility correction based on cell morphological differences for cervical cells classification by Wenbo Pang, Yue Qiu, Shu Jin, Huiyan Jiang, Yi Ma

“…To address the problem caused by noisy labels, we propose a method based on label credibility correction for cervical cell images classification network. Firstly, a contrastive learning network is used to extract discriminative features from cell images to obtain more similar intra-class sample features. …”

Apports nutritionnels, dépense et bilan énergétiques chez l’homme et les primates non-humains : aspects méthodologiques by Laurent Tarnaud, Cécile Garcia, Sabrina Krief, Bruno Simmen

“…Besides interspecific comparisons that provide a background to assess the evolution of energy strategies among primates, contrasting the energy fluxes at the population or group level highlights the range of bio-cultural adjustments of humans and non-human primate species to their social and natural environment.The present review distinguishes methods according to the energetic parameters the researcher wishes to describe and quantify: food intake, energy input, energy expenditure associated with behavioural activities, nutritional status and body composition as well as the role of secondary compounds on food items selection and the medicinal properties of plants used. …”

Effect of fungal, oomycete and nematode interactions on apple root development in replant soil by Emma L. Tilston, Gregory Deakin, Julie Bennett, Thomas Passey, Nicola Harrison, Felicidad Fernández, Xiangming Xu

“…Methods We used a reductionist approach to determine effects of one or more members of the ARD complex on ARD in a number of selected rootstock genotypes with contrasting characteristics. Through a 15-month pot-based experiment in which semi-selective biocides were applied to soil from a replant orchard, we investigated (1) the nature of the interactions (i.e. antagonistic, additive or synergistic) between different groups of soil biota and ARD severity, and (2) whether rootstock characteristics modify ARD severity. …”
